  • Method and system for improving swap performance
    Patent number: 9928169
    Abstract: A method and system for improving swap performance are provided. In one embodiment, a computing device is provided with a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory, wherein the non-volatile memory has a first swap area with multi-level cell (MLC) memory and a second swap area with single-level cell (SLC) memory. One of the characteristics of SLC memory is that data is written more quickly in the SLC memory than the MLC memory. A determination is made whether the computing device is operating in normal mode or burst mode. If it is determined that the computing device is operating in normal mode, data is moved from the volatile memory to the first swap area during a swap operation. If it is determined that the computing device is operating in burst mode, data is moved from the volatile memory to the second swap area during a swap operation.
